A factory inspector found 3 defective microchips out of a total of 750
microchips made. Which proportion can be used to predict the number of
defects, x, in a batch of 10,000 microchips?

A factory inspector found 3 defective microchips out of a total of 750 microchips made Which proportion can be used to predict the number of defects x in a batc class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of number of defective pieces to the number of microchips in a batch can be represented by the ratio = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of microchips not in good condition}}{\text{Total numbers of microchips}}[/tex]

If 3 microchips are defective in a batch of 750 microchips,

Proportion = [tex]\frac{3}{750}[/tex]

If 'x' chips are defective in a batch of 10000 microchips,

Proportion = [tex]\frac{x}{10000}[/tex]

If both the proportions are equal,

[tex]\frac{3}{750}=\frac{x}{10000}[/tex]

Therefore, Option B will be the answer.
